Winning in Volunteer Management: Working together, what can we achieve?

21 September, at The Crypt, Christ Church, SpitalfieldsThis event is looking at how we can work more closely together. Click here for more information or to book a place.
Prior to the 2012 London Olympics, the government asked sporting organisations what they knew about volunteering, and they asked volunteering organisations what they knew about sport. Both answers were the same: “Virtually nothing!”
Yet sports volunteering accounts for 22% of the UK total – more than any other sector. (This information came out at our last event on 27 July)
Many charities organise sports-style fundraising events, such as walks or runs or cycle rides, but is there cooperation with sports organisations in the preparation or administration of these events?
Surely the time is ripe for sports and non-sports volunteer managers to get together and start to work together: to share experiences and challenges and successes.
This event will hear from presenters with experience of both sports and other non-profit and charity organisations, from research professors working in collaboration with sports organisations across the world and from the London 2012 Legacy charity: Join In. There will also be the usual networking opportunities and the chance to voice your own opinions.
